Batch roasted weekly

Roasted on a scheduled weekly rhythm. Very fresh if you order right after a roast day; less so near the end of the cycle.

“We collect orders throughout the week, up until Saturday at 3PM (PST) and roast them on the weekend. The orders are then shipped out on the following Monday” source ↗

Noted

Sparse signal

Confidence2 of 7 signals on file

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 75.8 shrunk to 64.8 = 65.

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 76/100

Two independent Reddit comments provide favorable but very limited evidence for Hydrangea Coffee. One buyer included Hydrangea in a three-roaster Ethiopian comparison and described the coffees collectively as great, while preferring JBC. Another commenter named Hydrangea as an enduring favorite.
